MetaLube has answered the challenge and gained market share with ZirKote conversion coating products. These zirconium based pretreatment products are available for spray, pressure wand, and immersion applications. They can be formulated with a detergent package to enhance part cleanliness, or to operate as a stand alone chemistry in 3 stage pretreatment processes. ZirKote chemistries are effective when applied to both ferrous and non-ferrous substrates.

These products help customers meet goals for environmental compliance. They also offer significant reductions in costs associated with waste disposal. In some cases, a ZirKote coating bath may be pH adjusted and discharged directly to the municipality.

These products are intended to be applied at ambient temperature.

This typically means major cost savings if you are transitioning from iron phosphate. Reduced energy consumption also reduces carbon emmissions and assists with some environmental initiatives.
